Spinnaker is a continuous delivery platform by Netflix and open sourced in late 2015. Fast-forward 3 years, Spinnaker can deploy to 9 (!) cloud providers and platforms; with many project contributions coming from the cloud providers themselves (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.). This DevOps Toronto talk will feature a quick overview of what Spinnaker can do.

8. 1. INFRASTRUCTURE1. INFRASTRUCTURE
(APPLICATION MANAGEMENT)(APPLICATION MANAGEMENT)
View all clouds, accounts & regions
for an application, at a glance
Contextual management replaces consoles
of each individual cloud
Infrastructure state is not stored,
it is read from each cloud
10. 2. PIPELINES2. PIPELINES
(APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT)(APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT)
Create and manage delivery work ow pipelines
Provides CD, not CI; integrates with CI systems
Pipeline-as-code
Pipeline templates

Inbound Rules ..
(Not all cloud providers implement all operations)
18. CLUSTERSCLUSTERS
An application in a speci c cloud account & region
naming: application[-stack-detail]
application — Application name
stack — User de ned logical group (e.g. prod, dev)
detail — An extra user de ned group
Examples:
"myapp-stg-spot in AWS/us-east-1"
"myapp-prod in Azure/US West"
22. TRIGGERS (EXAMPLES)TRIGGERS (EXAMPLES)
Jenkins, Travis, Wercker, GCP Cloud Build
Passes data/metadata that can be used
Docker Registry Change
Can also do regex match on tag
GCP Pub/Sub
Webhook
Another pipeline
GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket
CRON
23. STEPS (EXAMPLES)STEPS (EXAMPLES)
Jenkins
Can trigger jobs as a step and wait (or not) for
completion
Bakery
'Bake' machine images (using HashiCorp Packer)
'Render' Helm charts (for Kubernetes)
Deploy
Strategies e.g. Blue/Green, Rolling, Canary..
Any cloud operation (contextual to provider)
Disable cluster, Shrink cluster..
Manual Judgement
28. EVERYTHING IS 'AS-CODE'EVERYTHING IS 'AS-CODE'
Pipelines can be designed in the UI
and saved as JSON.
The spin CLI tool provides pipeline
CRUD + Run operations
29. PIPELINE TEMPLATESPIPELINE TEMPLATES
Pipeline Template v2 schema:
1. Create a template in the UI
2. Download it with spin pipelines get
3. Replace the desired parts with variables using the
same Pipeline Expression Language
4. Submit with spin pipeline-templates save
Still a WIP (but very promising):
Spinnaker is gearing towards the data
templating language. See .
Very new (2019)
